Other Random Features
Some other stuff that is new to this version of TFK:
Oneboxing
Links to websites that comply with certain standards will show a little preview of that link on the post you are linking from.
e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Vennegoor_of_Hesselink
produces:
and http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2015/0605/706185-fai/
produces:
This only happens if these links are on their own line with a space above it (so it doesn’t ruin paragaphs etc).
Here’s a brief list of websites that this is currently implemented for (more will be added).
- rte.ie
- wikipedia.org
- independent.ie
- nytimes.com
- twitter.com
- nfl.com
- broadsheet.ie
- guardian.co.uk/theguardian.com
- espn.com/espnfc.com
- skysports.com
Wiki Posts
Individual posts can be set to wiki posts - meaning anyone can edit them.
Polls
There is a separate topic on how to set up a poll, but in summary the main differences/improvements are:
- A poll can be in any post in a topic, not necessarily the first.
- You can have more than one poll in a post
Keyboard Shortcuts
There are plenty of shortcuts on the keyboard to navigate through TFK while reading it that mean you can avoid reaching all the way over to the mouse.
To bring up a list of the shortcuts press ? on your keyboard (not while typing a post obviously).
The most useful ones are probably those on the left hand side to bring you back a page or jump to the latest posts etc:
J next post/topic etc
K previous post/topic etc
# specific post # to go to
/ search
U back (like browser back button)
G, L go to latest posts page
Here’s the full list:
